West Division - Plus TV Market
BYU - SLC
Boise State - Well, Boise and most of the Mtn Zone
CU / Co State - Denver ( I prefer CU over Co St.) Seriously doubt CU would, less $$
Baylor - Waco, Austin, Central Tx.
KSU - Not much, western Ks, Wichita and some KC
KU - Same as KSU but a bigger national draw.
TCU - Dallas/Ft Worth
Tx Tech - West Texas
East Division - PLus TV Market
ISU - Des Moines
OSU - Oklahoma & Texas
Houston - Houston, East Tx
Memphis - Memphis
UC - Cincinnati
West Virginia - ? You tell me, but good football & Basketball
UCF - Orlando
USF - Miami
You can have 4 pods,
BYU,Boise St,CU,Tx Tech
KU,KSU,TCU,Baylor
Houston,ISU,OSU,Memphis
UCF,USF,WV, Cincy
IMHO, it's all coming down to Super Conferences and the teams that don't move now is going to have a hard time landing into a competitive conference from top to bottom in football and basketball.
Will it happen? Nope, just because, that's why. Would this be the best fit for the current 8 schools in the B12 ? I think so, but to get 8 more schools to jump all at once, going to take a very big sales job by somebody.
So what am I missing here on this take ? It's not the SEC, but I think those 16 schools would give them a legitimate chance at claiming # 3 behind the SEC at times based on how good the recruiting goes. The Big10 will still be a step in front on the # 2 conference. So the fight for # 3 is ACC,Pac 12 and whatever can come about with the B12 ( err 16? ).
You can possibly change up ISU for TCU in the divisions & pods.
